Light guide plate 140 guides to liquid crystal panel assembly 20 by the light being provided by light source cell 150, and the panel that light guide plate 140 is formed by the Plastic transparent material such as acryhic material is made.Light guide plate 140 is for guiding the liquid crystal panel 30 that is arranged on light guide plate 140 tops into from the light of light source cell 150 transmittings.
In the present embodiment, backlight assembly 100 belongs to edge-light-type.Therefore, light source cell 150 is configured to edge-light-type structure, and in edge-light-type structure, light source cell 150 is set to a side of light guide plate 140.Light source cell 150 comprises light source.
Refer again to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, light guide plate 140 comprises light incident surface 141, upper surface 143, lower surface 142, sunk part 145 and prism pattern 144.Light incident surface 141 is formed on a side surface of light guide plate 140, and is adjacent to light source 151, and light is entered in light guide plate 140 by light incident surface 141.Upper surface 143 is perpendicular to light incident surface 141, and comprises prism pattern 144.Lower surface 142 is relative with upper surface 143 and comprise a plurality of sunk parts 145.
Light guide plate 140 comprises various patterns, thereby makes the light that enters light guide plate 140 by light incident surface 141 be drawn towards liquid crystal panel 30.Such pattern can comprise the sunk part 145 being formed in lower surface 142.
Sunk part 145 is formed in lower surface 142 with channel shape structure, and the identical direction of the direction of edge and light incident surface 141 is extended.Sunk part 145 comprises catoptrical inclined-plane, the light of the scheduled volume that provides by light incident surface 141 is reflected, thereby changes light path, makes light upwards and towards liquid crystal panel 30.For making sunk part 145 effectively change by this way light path, each sunk part 145 comprises can catoptrical the first inclined-plane 145a and the second inclined-plane 145b.The first inclined-plane 145a of each sunk part 145 and the second inclined-plane 145b form pitch angle and intersect line with lower surface 142 respectively, thereby tilt to upper surface 143.The first inclined-plane 145a of each sunk part 145 and at least one in the second inclined-plane 145b are towards light incident surface 141.The light of the scheduled volume therefore, providing by light incident surface 141 is by the first inclined-plane 145a reflection and offer liquid crystal panel 30.The pitch angle of the first inclined-plane 145a of each sunk part 145 can change as required.
Sunk part 145 can form like this, that is, along with the distance apart from light incident surface 141 increases, the spacing between adjacent recessed part 145 changes.The region between sunk part 145 of lower surface 142 (hereinafter referred to " flat surfaces ") can be formed parallel with upper surface 143, or can angulation, thereby forms the positive gradient or negative slopes with respect to upper surface 143.
Lower surface 142 coordinates with upper surface 143, so that the light providing by light incident surface 141 to be provided, thereby makes light arrive the region away from light incident surface 141.Lower surface 142 can be formed parallel with upper surface 143.Selectively, distance between lower surface 142 and upper surface 143 can reduce in the following manner gradually,, along with the distance apart from light incident surface 141 increases, distance between lower surface 142 and upper surface 143 reduces, thereby the distance that light is advanced before by the first inclined-plane 145a reflection increases to certain amount, described in the amount that increases to larger than the amount forming at a predetermined angle in the situation of lower surface 142.Therefore, through the light of light incident surface 141, can more effectively be transferred to apart from the farther distance of light incident surface 141, the light that makes requirement reflects and is transmitted to liquid crystal panel 30 from the first inclined-plane 145a of sunk part 145.
The degree of depth of sunk part 145 can change as required.The light providing from light source 151 is very strong near the position of light incident surface 141, and along with the increase of the distance apart from light incident surface 141, light weakens.Therefore, for the whole region to liquid crystal panel 30 provides light equably, it is a small amount of making the component at the light being reflected by sunk part 145 near the location of light incident surface 141, and the component of the light being reflected by sunk part 145 increases pro rata with the distance apart from light incident surface 141.
In order to change by this way the light being reflected by sunk part 145, can change the degree of depth of sunk part 145.Selectively, sunk part 145 can be made into identical size (being the identical degree of depth), and the density relevant with the number of the sunk part 145 forming in presumptive area can increase, thereby makes the amount of the light that is reflected even.

Below with reference to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the liquid crystal display according to second embodiment of the invention is described.Fig. 4 is the fragmentary, perspective view of the light guide plate that comprises according to the display device of second embodiment of the invention, and Fig. 5 is the bottom perspective view of the light guide plate in Fig. 4.Identical label for the second embodiment at operation and the configuration aspects element identical with element in the first embodiment, to the description of these elements, will no longer repeat.
In the light guide plate 140_1 comprising according to the liquid crystal display of second embodiment of the invention, can adjust the Density Distribution that is formed on the diffusing pattern 146b on lower surface 142.
Diffusing pattern 146b can mainly be formed on light guide plate 140_1 light incident surface 141 near.For example, can reduce the density of the diffusing pattern 146b in adjacent light incidence surface 141 regions, and can improve apart from the density of the diffusing pattern 146b in the region at light incident surface 141 preset distance place far away.As another example, can reduce the density of the diffusing pattern 146b in contiguous light source 151 regions, and can improve apart from the density of the diffusing pattern 146b in the region at light source 151 preset distance place far away.
Light guide plate 140_1 comprises the prism pattern 144 being formed on upper surface 143 and is formed at the sunk part 145 on lower surface 142, makes light path complicated and unordered.As a result, in some region of light guide plate 140_1, just may form clear zone and dark space.By forming by this way diffusing pattern 146b, that is, improve the density of the diffusing pattern 146b of the position that forms clear zone, and reduce the density of the diffusing pattern 146b of the position that forms dark space, the light in clear zone is diffused pattern 146b scattering, and moves to dark space.Therefore, improved the homogeneity of light on whole light guide plate 140_1.
Such phenomenon (forming clear zone and dark space) is caused by reflection of light and interference.Other factors that affect position, size and the pattern formation of clear zone and dark space comprise the formation of thickness and prism pattern 144 and the sunk part 145 of light guide plate 140_1.The Density Distribution of diffusing pattern 146b can change according to the position of such clear zone and dark space.For example, clear zone may be formed at the position of contiguous light source 151 (supposing has a plurality of light sources), and dark space may be formed at the position between light source 151.In this case, in the position of contiguous light source 151, can improve the density of diffusing pattern 146b, and the position in region can reduce the density of diffusing pattern 146b between light source 151.
As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, lower surface 142 can comprise region 147a and region 147b, wherein, region 147a adjacent light source unit 150 also extends along the length direction of light source cell 150, and region 147b adjacent domain 147a also separates with light source cell 150 by region 147a.Region 147a comprises the first row of the high density area 148a of diffusing pattern 146b and the low density area 148b of diffusing pattern 146b.The first row is adjacent to and is parallel to the light source row in light source cell.In the 147a of region, high density area 148a can be positioned at the position relative with light source 151, low density area 148b also can be relative with the space in light source cell 150 between the 148a of high density area, therefore high density area 148a and low density area 148b replace along the length direction of region 147a, or equally along light source cell 150 length alternately.
Region 147b comprises the second row of the high density area 148a replacing with low density area 148b.It is relative with the low density area 148b in the 147a of region that high density area 148a in the 147b of region is configured to, and in the 147b of region, low-density 148b district is configured to relative with the high density area 148a in the 147a of region.
The first row and the second row can be considered to the row in rectangular matrix.Matrix pattern can comprise the other row forming according to region 147a and the similar region of region 147b, and each so other region comprises the high density area of the diffusing pattern 146b that the low density area with diffusing pattern 146b replaces.
In optional layout, in the first row, it is relative with light source 151 that the low density area of diffusing pattern can be arranged to, and it is relative with the space in light source cell 150 that the high density area of diffusing pattern 146b can be arranged to, and in the second row, pattern is contrary.
According to the variable density of the diffusing pattern 146b of clear zone and dark space, be not limited to matrix pattern, diffusing pattern 146b can form radially according to the mode centered by each light source 151, or can be irregularly formed.
In addition, there is no need to make diffusing pattern 146b to be only formed in the region at light incident surface 141 preset distance places, diffusing pattern 146b can partly be formed on apart from the region of light incident surface 141 a distance, is partly formed on the region near light incident surface 141.

Light guide plate 140 ' comprises various patterns, thereby makes the light that enters light guide plate 140 ' by light incident surface 141 be drawn towards liquid crystal panel 30 (seeing Fig. 1).Such pattern can comprise the bevelled sunk part 145 of formation.
Diffusion disk 130b and prismatic lens 130a are arranged on the top of light guide plate 140 ', thus diffusion converge the light through light guide plate 140 ' transmission.The light that diffusion disk 130b diffusion is irradiated from light guide plate 140, concentrated in some region to prevent light.Prismatic lens 130a thereon surface is above formed with prism with the layout of being scheduled to, and the light that is diffused sheet 130b dispersion is vertically converged on liquid crystal panel 30 (seeing Fig. 1).Therefore, through most of light of prismatic lens 130a, vertically advance, make the illuminance distribution on screening glass (not shown).The surface of screening glass protection prismatic lens 130a, and dispersed light, thus photodistributed homogeneity improved.
Diffusion disk 130b comprises diffusing pattern 446.What diffusing pattern 446 adjustment provided from light guide plate 140 ' may be inhomogeneous light, makes described light become even.Diffusing pattern 446 can only be formed in the region of the light incident surface 141 that approaches light guide plate 140 ' most.In addition, the density of diffusing pattern 446 can be according to the position of light source 151 (supposing has a plurality of light sources 151), from the distance of light source 151 and the thickness of light guide plate 140 ', change.
In Figure 14, diffusing pattern 446 is illustrated on the lower surface of diffusion disk 130b.Selectively, diffusing pattern can be formed on the upper surface of diffusion disk 130b.
Reflector plate 160 is arranged on the below of light guide plate 140 ', so that the light that points to below from light guide plate 140 ' is reflected back along the direction making progress.(described light is not by lower surface 142 internal reflections of light guide plate 140 ' and be not formed on sunk part 145 internal reflections in lower surface 142 for reflector plate 160 reflected light, and through light guide plate 140 '), make this light reenter light guide plate 140 ' and can pass completely through light guide plate 140 ' towards liquid crystal panel 30 (seeing Fig. 1).Therefore, reflector plate 160 reduces the loss of the light of light source 151 transmittings, and further offers the uniformity of light of liquid crystal panel 30 (seeing Fig. 1).
Figure 15 shows the rear view of the diffusion disk of the backlight assembly in Figure 13.Figure 15 illustrates the matrix pattern on the lower surface of diffusion disk 130b.In conjunction with the present invention's the second exemplary embodiment, this matrix pattern has been described.Selectively, this matrix pattern can be formed on the upper surface of diffusion disk.
Although illustrate particularly and described the present invention with reference to exemplary embodiment of the present invention, but what it should be understood by one skilled in the art that is, in the situation that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention that are defined by the claims, can make in the present invention the various changes in form and details.
